ITS GOT THE MOST 90'S WHEELS EVER AND THE BODY KIT IS EVEN STRAKIER THAN I THOUGHT

It also has some script on the door..... I didn’t think it was a GT with the turbo 4 but I think the little silver word say it do.

I think those are the stock wheels...and body kit.

I know the wheels are, but that body kit?

On further inspection, it might not be. I know this is stock though:

But that kit is different after all.

It reminds me of a late 90's Grand Am coupe with those strakes. With bits of early 90's Grand Prix coupe and sedan.

I think the kit is just a little garnish on a stock car, but the wheels are definitely stock, maybe MY 1989.

Kind of a cool old car, maybe a shame if being used up as a winter beater. I remember back in the mid 90s when I was a student, I had a professor, a woman in her mid 60s, who drove a red one just like this - she was a sight. She also had a 57 T-Bird, so she was into it.

I confess to an unnatural liking of mid 90's probes.

IIRC, I think that was the “Ferrari” body kit. And yup, those wheels are standard issue Probe.

Found a cardomain(!) of a similar body kit

I still don’t buy it being a GT. Here’s my reasons.

Those wheels only came on GT’s in ‘89. They became LX wheels thereafter. Those are not ‘89 tail lights. All GT’s had a three-piece rear spoiler. Not saying it couldn’t have been removed but it would have required lots of hole filling. The little side wings had at 3 or 4 holes alone, IIRC. GT’s also had different front/rear bumpers and side-skirts for all years. I don’t remember 100% but I think that kit was designed around GL/LX panels.

We need an interior shot tomorrow!

Every time I see a Probe I imagine a world without the Mustang as we know it. Holy hell am I glad Ford came to their senses. Cars and Coffee patrons might not be, but who cares about them...
